Over 900 species of Acacia trees are found on earth, most of them produce gums. Acacia nilotica (Babul tree) is one of the major gum-yielding acacia species found in he Indian subcontinent. A. nilotica gum was collected from Maharashtra, India and characterised for its proximate analysis, physicochemical, functional, rheological and thermal properties. These properties further were compared with commercially available Acacia gum (AG). The sugar composition of the gums indicated the presence of arabinose, galactose, and rhamnose in ANG and AG. FIR spectrums revealed the typical trend of polysaccharides for both the gums, however, the difference was observed in fingerprint region. The rheological outcomes were derived from flow curve measurements of gums at different concentrations and temperatures. Investigations of the flow curves of both gums revealed the diminutive difference in viscosity profile. The concentration difference in the monosaccharides of polysaccharides and proximate analysis of gums could be the responsible for the difference in rheological and thermal properties of gums. However, ANG shows good resemblance with AG and can be substituted for numerous applications in food and pharmaceutical industry. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Impact of Novel Atmospheric Pin-to-Plate Cold Plasma on a Seed Galactomannan: Physical and Chemical Characteristics and Its Application in Orange Juice Stabilization

Ranjitha Gracy T. Kalaivendan, Gunaseelan Eazhumalai, Uday S. Annapure

Summary: This study investigates the effects of cold plasma modification (CP) of guar seed galactomannan on its structural, chemical, dietary fiber profile, and the stability of orange juice. Cold plasma treatments at different voltage and time conditions were carried out, resulting in depolymerization, cleavage of galactose side chains, and surface etching. These modifications led to increased polar oxidative functionalities and decreased particle size. The plasma-treated guar gum improved the stability of orange juice without significant changes in quality. The results demonstrate the potential of CP for the production of partially depolymerized guar gum.

Prabodh Halde, Shweta Deotale, V. N. Pawar, Uday Annapure, Anupama Devkate, Yogita Chavan

Summary: In this study, fresh jaggery cubes were treated with microwave heating for different durations. The physiochemical and microbial parameters were analyzed before and after treatment. The moisture content of the treated jaggery samples was 3.98 +/- 0.59 and 3.86 +/- 0.63 for 30 s and 45 s microwave treatment, respectively. The microwave treatment at 45 s showed the most significant reduction in total plate count and yeast and mold count. It was found that microwave treatment for 45 s was the best for treating jaggery.

Prajakta D. Sadawarte, Uday S. Annapure

Summary: This study focused on the effect of repetitive frying on the physicochemical characteristics of palm oil and sesame oil during the preparation of french fries. It was found that sesame oil was more affected by repetitive frying, showing higher changes in FFA and PV compared to palm oil. The fatty acid composition of palm oil remained more stable, while the physical properties of sesame oil, such as density, refractive index, and viscosity, were significantly affected. French fries fried in palm oil had higher overall acceptability in sensory evaluation.

Effect of cold plasma processing on physicochemical characteristics and thermal properties of palm oil

N. Niveditha, Harsh B. Jadhav, Anu Ahlawat, Ranjitha Gracy T. Kalaivendan, Uday S. Annapure

Summary: The atmospheric cold plasma treatment at different powers and exposure durations did not significantly affect the saponification value, triacylglycerol value, acid value, and free fatty acid value of the samples. The melting point increased by about 3% after 60 W treatment for 45 min and by about 0.9% after 50 W treatment for 30 min. The peroxide value and anisidine value slowly increased after cold plasma treatment but remained within the acceptable range. There was a significant decrease in the iodine value due to the cold plasma treatment. The TOTOX value, representing the oxidative stability of the palm oil, increased from 12.77 to a maximum value of 16.38 for the 60 W power treatment for 45 min.

Effects of aging and diabetes on the deformation mechanisms and molecular structural characteristics of collagen fibrils under daily activity

Wei-Han Hui, Yen-Lin Chen, Shu-Wei Chang

Summary: Crosslinking affects the mechanical behavior and tissue metabolism of collagen-based tissues. Aging and diabetes alter the crosslinking type and density, thus changing tissue properties. High-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking and advanced-glycation end-products result in uniform deformation under daily activity, while low-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking does not. High-connectivity model displays more sliding, while AGEs induce instability in structures near the binding sites.
